Isabella evaded Jonas subtly and said some polite words in response as she went back to her office. Alex had just come back from a call. So, when Alex put her stuff down and went in for the latest gossip. Isabella immediately told her everything. Alex frowned at her words. âHe has his eyes on you.â
Isabellaâs heart sank. âWhat do you mean?
Alex crossed her arms and leaned on the desk as she murmured, âBefore you, Winona and Luna were our worst salesgirls. Sometimes, they wouldnât be able to sell even one car, but your arrival motivated them. I heard that they sold a sports car each.
Isabella mused it over, but she was still confused. âSo⦠Iâm the worst here. Do they punish us?â
Chapter 44 With Skills âJonas goes on a business trip once every few months, and the worst-performing salesperson has to go with him. Winona was the one who went with him every time before this,â Alex shot her a meaningful look.
Isabella stared at where she was looking. She saw a long-haired girl in the corner. She had glasses on, and she didnât have outstanding looks, but there was an air about herâ¦
âSee if you can sell more. You sold three, so you probably only need a few more units to make the cut.â Alex patted Isabellaâs shoulder, but she sounded worried.
Isabellaâs stomach was still protesting. She had no time to deal with this matter, but she forced a smile and said she would try to come up with something.
Chapter 44 With Skills Alex said nothing more. Instead, she picked up her purse and went to see her client.
Isabella went back to her seat. Right now, she truly regretted stopping Gordon from buying a car. Sheâd rather owe him a favor than go with Jonas on a business trip alone. She was starting to panic, but her belly was churning. So, she downed another glass of hot water. Evening came, and she got herself some soup in the mall next door.
When she made it back after her little dinner, the meeting had already started. Thus, everyone was in the meeting room.
Isabella came in just in time to hear Jonas conclude, âThatâs all for the meeting. Youâve worked hard this month, everyone.â He then noticed Isabella coming in. âIsabellaâs performed well even though sheâs new. Last place, but donât you worry. Youâll get better.â
Chapter 44 With Skills Everyone clapped, and Isabella nodded politely. Nonetheless, she couldnât help but think that everyone was giving her weird looks.
Once the meeting was over, Isabella stood up. Alas, Jonas called her before she could leave. âPack your stuff, Isabella. Weâre leaving at nine tomorrow.â
Isabella was shaken. She hadnât prepared any excuse to refuse him at all. She was going to say something, but Jonas had already left the office.
She heaved a sigh and started feeling her belly churning. She held down her panic and left the office, but someone held her. She turned back and saw that it was Winona.
Winona whispered, âDonât sleep too deeply, and remember to lock the door.â
Then, she left, looking as though she was just talking about the weather.
Chapter 44 With Skills Isabella felt her heart freeze up. This time, she knew for certain Jonas had been entertaining some dark ideas regarding her. This trip was nothing but a trap. Yet, she couldnât refuse him. Her mind was filled with a ton of troubles and problems. She went back to her seat and waited until work was over for the day. Soon, everyone started leaving the office one after another.
Isabella wasnât planning on going home. It wasnât safe there. Kellerâs men might be around. She held her head. This was tiring for her. So exhausting.
Every path, every escape she thought she could use was blocked.
As more and more people left, Natasha called her and asked if she had plans for the night. Isabella promptly told Natasha about her condition and got a ride to her place.
Natasha was always an optimistic person, and managing the bar for Dariel made her a more experienced woman in the workplace. When İsabella Chapter 44 With Skills unloaded all her troubles on her, Natasha took a seat on the couch with her legs crossed as she huffed. âJust get someone to beat him up. Thatâll show him.â
Isabella was tempted. âWould that work?â
Natasha smiled and put out her cigarette in the ashtray/ Then, she leaned over, her gaze alluring. âI can send some men to kick his *ss tonight.â
Isabella mused it over. The guy hadnât done anything yet. If she tried to do anything before that, it might backfire. Besides, since she was hiding from Keller, going on a business trip to Lawdom was a good idea. âDo you have anyone you know in Lawdom?â She looked at Natasha with hope in her eyes.
Natasha looked at her and knew what she was thinking. So, the woman smiled. âI do, but they might not arrive in time to save you.â
Chapter 44 With Skills Isabella heaved a weary sigh and leaned on the couch. âWeâll go with that. Iâll go with the b*stard and see how he manages to sell dozens of cars every month.â
Natasha clapped and praised, âThatâs more like it. Beating him up means nothing. You gotta take him down with skills.â
âI Isabella felt a lot better, and she borrowed Natashaâs laptop. Then, she went to the study to find out who the business partner would be. It was a creative company that had a reverse takeover. They were suddenly purchasing dozens of cars, claiming it was an incentive for their workers.
Isabella didnât find any problems with it. So, she sorted out the files, and printed them out. Once she was done, she scrolled through her phone and saw the news about Shaffer Group. Shaffer Group was buying land en masse, and Lawdom might be their second base soon.
Chapter 44 With Skits Isabella scrolled down again, and she was shown the same news. She lamented a little. Seth might be a piece of human garbage, but he was the most outstanding heir among his peers in that city. No one was on his level.
Just as she was about to go down yet another rabbit hole, she suddenly met Sethâs gaze on the screen.
